The Second Son

Every journalist in the city has tried to take down the Falcone family. Sloane Aguilar is the only one who got inside the house. Renzo Falcone is the second son, the quiet one, the one nobody wrote about because nobody could find a way in. He knows Sloane is lying about her name. He's known since March. He lets her stay anyway. Eight weeks into the arrangement, she's pregnant, holding a story that ends him, and watching her editor get shot outside her own apartment. She burns her notes and runs. He finds her in nine days — no threats, no guards, one envelope slid across a kitchen table. Inside it is everything she couldn't steal. He wants her to publish it. She wants to know why. The answer is the reason neither of them is leaving.
